The strange thing about those lists that it is impossible to use any type of crutch without answering yes to at least a few of those questions. It's almost as if they consider any kind of use an addiction.

Got it free off my friend who deals a bit.  It was awesome.  He says I can get some for 200 a month, not bad for what you're getting!

I go through times when I think I'm addicted to something, but I never do anything about it.  I'm pretty safe when it comes to using anything, but sometimes it feels like too much so I have to catch myself and see what's actually going on.  That's been happening a lot more lately because it's summer and I've got nothing to do all day but put things in my body that make me think differently.  All in all, though, the only things that really hurt you are the things you can't control.
